For anyone owning or investing in property, virtually most projects you wish to do to your home, building and land will require planning consent or a certificate of lawfulness, since planning authorities at all levels are almost constantly developing and reviewing policy, this has made the planning system increasingly complex, even for those who are familiar with the process. Thus, more than ever, obtaining expert advice will play a key role in determining whether you will be able to maximise the value of you property or development potential of land.

     Our Planning Consultancy Services
     Whether it is in use or vacant, residential, commercial, or just scrubland, there is
     always a good chance that some alternative use could increase its value. Applying
     for planning permission can often be challenging and frustrating with the complicated
     planning process and the stringent planning regulations, hence obtaining professional 
     advice in order to realise the full potential of your project, has never been so important.

     Cross & Prior will help you in assessing development opportunities, analyse the
     possibilities, and advise on a suitable strategy, and we can be involved with your
     project from concept stage, right through to detailed design and on site completion.
     We are able to offer a number of services, including:

                
     Consultation, analysis and advising on pre-application strategy
  

     Identifying the strengths of your proposed planning applications and knowing how 
     to overcome any weaknesses, can make a significant difference between success
     and failure in receiving the all important planning permission, so it is imperative to
     ask for early consultation from experts.

     We will always provide you with a straightforward and upfront assessment of the 
     prospects and constraints of your project, and our involvement from the initial stage
     will not only help safeguard against any unforeseen issues at a later date, but also
     can substantially reduce the time and cost.

                
     Preparation, submission and negotiation of planning applications               

     A planning application is more than likely to be determined quickly and effectively
     with a favourable outcome if it is well prepared and carefully managed throughout 
     the entire planning process, therefore it is essential to get things right from the outset
     to avoid unnecessary delay.

     We will offer you a tailored and cost-effective service to meet your personal
     requirements by preparing a bespoke case to support your proposal, monitoring
     the progress through each stage of the process, negotiating the best result for you,
     and dealing with any issues arising efficiently.

            
     Reviewing, advising and preparation of planning appeals

     Although we work closely with our clients to secure planning permission wherever
     possible, from time to time it is necessary to appeal a refusal for a number of reasons
     such as if you are unhappy with the resulting decision, the lack of a decision, or you
     have received an enforcement notice.

     Every case is different, so we will always suggest the best type of planning appeal
     and the most appropriate procedure based on your situation. We will also carry out
     all relevant and detailed research in the required manner that will give you the best
     opportunity for a successful appeal.

         
     Managing, overseeing and delivering the final building project            

     Every build project will require decision making, time management, and problem
     solving, and a professional project management team can take away the stress and
     difficulty that may come across with building works, in order to make sure that the
     project runs to budget and on time.

     We are committed to manage your project every step of the way from inception to
     completion, and we will keep you informed of progress with up to date feedback of
     all aspects of the project, and most importantly, to ensure you get the highest
     standards and best value for money.
